Well this page has been listed as under construction for over 5 years, so perhaps time to add something to it ;) We will start with the only one I had had on the page since way back when. The Einstein one was first posted in 1996 to my site in Japan, and I moved it to my new site in 2002 and apparently later modified it in 2004. But it is still a good one for those with the brains to solve it ;)

First current posting 21 March 2007.
